Here's a nice piece on him when the Jets picked him up in 2021.
QuoteOutstanding coverage in 2020
Morrow was a backup-quality player over his first three seasons (more on that later), but in 2020, he ascended to an elite level in coverage.
Dropping back into coverage on 411 snaps over 14 games, Morrow was targeted 53 times and allowed 36 catches for 265 yards, four touchdowns and 10 first downs. That’s a conversion on just 26.4% of pass attempts, well below the 2020 league-wide average of 36.3%.
Morrow allowed only 5.0 yards per target, third-best among linebackers to face at least 30 targets in their direction, trailing only Roquan Smith and Lavonte David. His average of 0.64 yards allowed per cover snap placed at the 86th percentile among qualified linebackers, while his Pro Football Focus coverage grade of 70.4 landed at the 83rd percentile.

I gotta' say that stressing about what the Bills exact cap number is at this moment is the definition of OCD.
They've made most of the moves. Getting well past cap compliant was never going to be THAT difficult.
While I agree here, I think a lot of folks are interested in order to see them create enough space to add an "exciting" FA or two. However, your point still stands, because they will always make a cap move if needed for any new future signings.

Spotrac estimates we'll need 11,570,141 to sign our picks and it will cost cap wise 9,185,141.https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/
I'm sure you noticed they now have the draft pick cap hit estimate down to $7.5 million, and that will continue to come down as the roster expands. At this point, I'm guessing the draft picks' impact on the top 51 cap number will be close to $2 million.

Beane's still working it, so wonder if he can get them under the cap by midnight? Axe Wednesday indeed.

Yes, I saw that. It's a rough estimate based on the Bills current roster of 48-49 bodies, so most of the picks would count against the top 51 as of now. As I said, that will change significantly by the time they actually sign the draft picks. The cap hit will be significantly less at that time when they have a full roster.

Why?
I wonder if this has to do more with tyler bass being comfortable with him as the holder.
Cause I don't get this, unless it's just for camp repsThey'll draft one too.

This is all great in theory, but until it’s done, it’s not done. Beane has until 4pm on March 13th to get his top 51 contracts under the 2024 cap. Even if he accomplishes that goal, he still needs to clear another 10-11 million to sign his draft picks and at least 20 mill more to complete his roster unless he chooses to just use draft picks and guys on futures/reserve deals as his depth next season.
By the time they sign the picks, the cap hit from the draft will only be about half that amount. For example, the top pick is slotted to make $2.46 mil, but will knock someone off the top 51 list making $900K, so the net addition will be $1.56 million, and the bottom half of the draft picks may not even count for the top 51.

First time this happened, I had a choice between WR Thomas and C Powers-Johnson. I was torn. I know the sexy pick is WR, but I opted to take the anchor up front for the rest of Josh's career.

I would not reach on a player just to get a receiver but they reached over receivers for a corner two years ago IMO. I think receiver is priority #1, Dline is priority #2 and safety is priority #3.
That doesn't mean you MUST draft them in that order, but that's the order of priority for me.
From what I can tell in my limited look at draft prospects, R2 is pretty loaded at DT talent, so edge/WR get the edge in R1. I don't think there is a safety as good as Donte Whitner in R1.....
/sarcasm

A very skill-position loaded draft in R1. You have:
7 WR
6 OT and CB
5 Edge
4 QB
2 DT
1 G and TE
Any chance of your R2 QBs going in R1?

He said teams today talk about winning but they don’t want to give someone the authority to build the culture that’s necessary to win. He said they like their own culture and don’t want to change. Is that us? Do we just like what we have? Change is hard and takes work. Lombardi said majority of teams are just content to stay how they are and not put into the work to win.
How soon we forget the Rex Ryan years...

@H2o Peyton is the right comparison because he had to deal with beating Brady. However, I also think about Elway winning in his 30s when he finally understood that a good running game would take the pressure off of him--he didn't always need to be superman. Terrel Davis (and a good D) was instrumental in Elway getting his rings.

Agree. Him not sticking in Indy (where the WR depth is poor) is a bit of a reg flag but they don't have an established culture and a proven QB like we do. And he has to know this is his final shot.
According to Wikipedia, "On July 31, 2023, Hamler announced he was diagnosed with pericarditis. Hamler was then waived by the Denver Broncos with a non-football illness designation". It doesn't explain why Indy didn't sign him after the season, but I imagine most teams are very skittish about his injury history and the heart inflammation issue.

My favorite postgame quote came from Ed. He said: "I heard they wanted to play yesterday in the blizzard because they thought they could run the ball. Then we give them even better conditions, and they still can’t run the ball. ..."
he has had some great lines. Cracks me up!

I am not naive enough to discount a Mahomes and Reid led team. The Chiefs have not established a deep threat receiver since Hill left. Their bread and butter is passes that don't go farther than 15 yards. I think Clappy can game plan for this. Yes their defense is good but not great at any particular thing. Not good enough to take away all our running and receiving threats.
This year (not every year) we are better than kc. We are hungrier that they are and will win and cover the spread.
I’m more worried about their D than O.

Think it's an "educated guess" on Diggs. Based on Minkah hitting him there/Diggs toppling over. Agree, Diggs is battling through something.
Bernard- if it's indeed a sprain, didn't look like High'Ankle based on bend direction. But could still be a torn ligament/need several month surgery recovery. Big Unknown until MRI. We just don't have the numbers at LB, with Spector also down and Dodson. Hopefully both those guys can play this week
Johnson- I think he was injured on. the Pickens reverse, didn't look like head/thought his legs gave out. But maybe hit then fell awkwardly.
Benford - he was riding stationary bike then quickly ruled out. I don't recall the injury, perhaps on the Freirermuth fumble. Hopefully we get Rasul back, at a minimum, to go with Dane.
Martin- I'd expect he battles through/plays.
McGovern- came back into game after 1 play, sure he'll be ok
On Shakir’s TD, some Pitt DL jumped on Diggs’ back and tackled him. It looked like a flagrant attempt by someone who knew he had an injury.

Don’t underestimate a team that can run the ball. Tough game that Bills eek out at home: 24 -21

Maybe it doesn't matter with Harty, but I enjoyed the fact that Poona Ford (I believe it was him?) blocked the punter so that there was no possible last man option to stop Harty.

You know every time the Bills offense underwhelms we pull the “that’s the best defense we’ve faced all year” line.
They played poorly, and will only face Playoff caliber teams the rest of the way.
I thought Allen stunk it up in the first half, which is why the offense in general didn’t perform well. However, I think the criticism of the run game is off base. They had slightly more yards than their average, and almost 50 yards more than what the Pats D gives up on average.
The OP expressed concern about the run game, which was not the reason for their sputtering offense against the Pats. Allen has to play better.

The Browns defense is really good. It's a rivalry game. That entire division hates one another. Games like that are usually close. I think only the Browns or Bills could go there and get a win. I hope the Bills don't have to go there so that leaves the Browns. Of course, this is assuming they win Sunday night at Miami.
No disagreement regarding their D. I just don’t think an old Flacco could go in and get it done.

The Pats Dline is the best part of their team.
I thought we ran it well enough. Not too many negative runs even it was a day of 3s and 4s rather than the 7s and 8s we have been used to recently.
They are the best D-line against the run with a 3.2 ypc average. The Bills averaged 3.6 (excluding K Allen’s kneel downs) which is a good day against the #1 run D.

Just looking at the teams in the playoffs for the AFC I think the Browns are the only ones who could beat the Ravens in Baltimore. The Bills could if they bring their "A" game but that's it. I don't see another team in the AFC who could go there and beat them and that includes the Chiefs. It just doesn't seem like it will be their year this season.
With Flacco at home, maybe; there, I don’t think so. I think the Bills are the only team that could give them a run in their building.

It def could happen. I think we know soon as he has a roster bonus due the 5th day of the new league year in march. Wouldnt be shocked to see him take a pay cut cause sorta the good dude he is.
youll be happy to know we dont need to re-sign douglas as he is under contract next year for 9m which i am very happy with. might even extend a year or two to get that number down with some gurantees.
Douglas turns 30 at the start of the 2024 season, so I don't know if it's wise to extend him beyond that? It doesn't look as if they're giving up on Elam either.
For the 2024 roster at CB, they currently have White, Douglas, Elam, Benford, and Taron J. They'll probably ink Ingrahm and Brown from the current PS as well. I don't know if there will be much of a market for Dane Jackson and Cam Lewis, so both could also be back. White is certainly the big question mark for them, but if Elam finally gets it together, they will be in decent shape at the position.

Bills Cap Status - Approx $4.25 under cap 4/03/2024 (added roster change summary)
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
The $12 million you cite is the estimated cost of signing the picks that Terry Pegula needs, which is only partially related to the expected cap hit, the $3.25 million number.
